The Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo is an Android smartphone manufactured by Samsung. It was announced in March 2013[1][2] and released in May 2013[3][4][5][6] as the successor to the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus.[7] The handset is still budget-oriented, sporting a larger 3-inch display. Its specifications are similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus, with only minor upgrades such as the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system and the display size. The Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo, like its predecessors, is still marketed as "Pocket Friendly," because it can be slipped inside pockets easily despite the larger size.
